The Jets couldn't have looked more inept on offense in last week's loss at the Jaguars, as they gained just 178 yards, their second-fewest under fourth-year coach Todd Bowles.

That made Sunday's explosion against the Broncos -- 512 yards in a 34-16 victory -- all the more stunning. The Jets hadn't gained that many yards since they had 513 in 2013 against the Bills. A 500-yard game is extremely rare for the Jets, who now have two of them since 2000.

"Like I said last week, it's just a matter of time when we click and when our whole offense is rolling on all cylinders," Darnold said. "So it's going to be fun to watch us here in the next couple weeks."

Let's see if the Jets can actually build on this. Remember, they hammered the Lions, 48-17, in Week 1, but they managed just 12, 17, and 12 points the next three weeks, including 268 yards against the Browns and that 178-yard dud in Jacksonville.

The Jets (2-3) broke a three-game losing streak on Sunday, and they still have two games left on this home stand, against the Colts and Vikings. Darnold's fifth start was a major point of progress, as he established a big-play connection with Anderson.

"I feel like he's starting to get a little more comfortable," Anderson said. "We knew we had to get the ball down the field and get things going."

Anderson, who had done little since his 41-yard touchdown in Week 1 at the Lions, relished the chance to roast cornerback Bradley Roby on his 76-yard touchdown catch Sunday.

"I don't really feel like he's anybody for us to have been worrying about, or anything like that," Anderson said. "I set him up down the field. I gave him a little hesitation, but it seemed like nobody was out there. I looked back, and I forgot that he was even on the field. That was fun. I looked to my left and saw how far he was, and that was fun. It felt good."
